Across
- 4. Electricity, Form of electricity resulting from the imbalance between positive and negative charges within a material that occurs when electrons move from one material to another
- 6. Production of light with a specific pattern of oscillation
- 7. Discharge, Release of static electricity that occurs when an accumulation of electric charge flows, often suddenly, from an object to another.
- 10. A material with zero resistance that can conduct electricity without thermal energy transformations
- 15. by Friction, Results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects that are rubbed together
- 16. Charge, The magnitude of the charge of an electron; approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 C
- 19. A material, such as glass, through which a charge will not move easily
- 20. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, no electric charge
- 21. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, negative electric charge
- 22. by Conduction, The process of charging a neutral object by touching it with a charged object
Down
- 1. Material that behaves as a conductor under certain conditions and as an insulator in others; can be used to make solid-state electronic components
- 2. Negatively charged ions formed when an atom or group of atoms gains one or more valence electrons
- 3. The study of electric charges that can be collected and held in one place
- 5. Any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges
- 8. A material, such as copper, through which a charge will move easily
- 9. The process of dispersing excess charge by touching an object to Earth or other large conductive body
- 11. Charge, Basic property of matter carried by some elementary particles that governs how the particles are affected by an electric or magnetic field
- 12. Positively charged ions that result from an atom or group of atoms losing one or more valence electrons
- 13. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, positive electric charge
- 14. The SI standard unit of charge; one coulomb (C) is the magnitude of the charge of 6.24 x 10^18 electrons or protons
- 17. by Induction, The process of charging an object without touching it, which can be accomplished by bringing an object close to a neutral object, causing a separation of charges, then separating the object to be charged, trapping opposite but equal charges
- 18. of Conservation of Charge, Charge is always conserved. When all objects involved are considered prior to and after a given process, the total amount of charge amidst the objects is the same before the process starts as it is after the process ends
